While I sincerely appreciate the prayerful approach to fundraising, not enough is done to hold financial worldly "wisdom" in sincere suspicion in relation to the seeming "foolishness" of Jesus
Definitely a necessary read for Christians who work in ministry or non-profit work. Nothing necessarily brand new, just clear insightful comments on fundraising.
The most important thing is that fundraising is ultimately inviting the rich into a community. What we have to offer is ultimately community, God’s vision for the world.
I would definitely recommend taking the 45 minutes out of your day to read and meditate on this.

This book was very helpful for me. Adapted from a talk, it is very short and useful in framing the work of inviting people in to sharing resources for needed work.
This was a great, short read, packed with many a powerful word on the spirituality of fundraising. Nouwen's perspective on fundraising is one that draws on spiritual commonsense. What I mean is, if we have paid any attention to Jesus and his teachings, then how we fundraise should be rooted in the Way that Jesus would have us enter relationship with others.
Never did I think I would be excited about the idea of fundraising, but Nouwen reframes what fundraising is and how it works. For Nouwen, fundraising is ministry in and of itself. He discusses a lot in this short book, such as our relationship to money.
I highly recommend this book to people in ministry. The whole book is 40 pages, free PDF online.

A quick but profound read on how fundraising is a spiritual practice. Fundraising is about so much more than money; it's an invitation to worship God and go deeper in one's spiritual life.
A must-read for anyone who has to raise funds; it's one I have a feeling I'll re-read at least annually.
